Letter Fishing

• Pre-K–Kindergarten
• Ages 3–6
• Free, no sign-up

Fish swim across the pond, each carrying a letter. The game says a letter, like "Catch the letter B!", and your child taps the fish that has it. It's simple, calm letter-recognition practice for children who are just learning the alphabet.

About the game

How to play

1. Listen. The game names a letter. Tap the big button to hear it again.
2. Find the fish. Look for the fish carrying that letter.
3. Tap to catch it. A wrong fish says its own letter, then the game asks again.
4. Fill the bucket. Ten catches finish the pond.

For parents: what Letter Fishing practices

Letter Fishing practices naming and recognizing capital and lowercase letters, the foundation for learning letter sounds. It pairs with:

• Letter sounds A to Z
• Kindergarten
• Letter Sound Pop

Common Core: RF.K.1d (recognize and name all upper- and lowercase letters).

Getting the most out of it

• Say the letter's name and sound together: B, /b/.
• Point to the letter in your child's name first.
• Mix in lowercase ponds once capitals are easy.

Games are best as a reward or a warm-up, not the main lesson. Ten minutes of play after a short lesson works better than an hour of play on its own.
